MAC Mortal Veluxe Pearlfusion Eyeshadow Palette ($44.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a warm-toned mix of coral and bronze. If you’re unfamiliar with the formula, it’s supposed to be a “hybrid formula” that can be applied dry for sheer color, wet for opaque color with supreme blendability. In the past, many of these palettes have been incredibly shimmery and sparkly, but this one is a little toned down–more frosted than sparkle/glitter–so there is less concern for fall out. I get good wear out of the eyeshadows once they’re on, but they always look a bit faded applied. This palette could use more contrast, as the colors run together due to most of them being light-medium or medium in color. I’d also love one or two satin/matte finishes to add more variety.

Mortal #4 is a medium-dark, golden bronze with warm, orange undertones and a frosted, metallic sheen. Applied dry, it was mostly opaque but not as metallic as when it was applied damp. The texture was soft, smooth, and not powdery (which is a big deal for this formula). The color didn’t start to fade until after eight and a half hours of wear.

😛 Dior is impressive. Charlotte Tilbury is as well. I’m uncertain of Christmas because everything is cheaper after it. But, thanks, MAC & Brooke Sheilds for some reason, for succeeding at something Bobbi Brown already mastered but is changing.. But you did add dividers..) it’s like I’m on a horse tranquilizer when I browse MAC. Lol 😉

I love how the palette looks, but I don’t think I’ll buy it. I really like the middle one. but I think I’d rather buy the MUFE Coral Pink. The rest of the shades I think I have ones close enough if I look around a bit.
